Problematic Eating Behaviors and Eating Disorders Associated With Bariatric Surgery
Open accessAbstract
Bariatric surgery candidates often report problematic and/or eating disordered behaviors. For most patients, these eating behaviors improve after surgery. A subset, however, experience a recurrence or new onset of problematic eating behaviors as early as 2 months to 18 months after surgery, which can result in compromised weight loss/excessive weight regain. Those most at risk are individuals with comorbid psychopathology (ie, loss-of-control eating or depression) after surgery. For some, such problems are present before surgery. Therefore, it is critical to monitor patients closely after surgery so that appropriate psychiatric treatments can be provided if indicated.

Problematic eating behaviors before surgery are common but are not reliable predictors of suboptimal weight loss and are rarely a contraindication for undergoing bariatric surgery.
“Problematic eating behaviors before surgery—although common—are not reliable predictors of suboptimal weight loss and are rarely a contraindication for undergoing bariatric surgery (5, 6).”
From Behavioral Interventions to Attenuate Driven Overeating and Weight Regain After Bariatric Surgery (2022) · cites this paper as [6]
The Pre-Surgery section says most studies do not link pre-surgical binge eating or binge eating disorder (BED) to poorer weight loss, and that neither is considered a contraindication. The section on eating problems in bariatric surgery candidates describes such problems as common. The claim extends the findings about prediction and contraindication from binge eating and BED to problematic eating behaviors generally, which the cited passages do not establish. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
